New Joke by Senator Evarts.

told Lord Coleridge when they were at Mount
Vernon the legend of Washington throwing a
dollar across the Rappahannock. But OBJ

stream" Yes" retorted Evarts, but you
must remember that dollar went further in
those days" At dinner party not long ago
Evarts was chaffed little about the many
stories attributed to him by the newspapers,
and incidentally this one was praised his
best. 'Oh," said Evarts modestly. II don't say
all the good things that are credited to me-
Every now and then some anonymous news
paper Photographer says witter thing than
any of US. Now, what 1 might have said to
Lord Coleridge was that it was not so strange
that George Washington threw dollar across
a river since he threw sovereign across the
sea-" That was certainly as bright as the other

During the summer of 1863. while the hospitals
at Canton. Miss, were crowded with sick and
wounded soldiers, the ladies visited them daily
carrying with them delicacies of every kind
and did all they could to cheer and comfort the
suffering. On one occasion pretty miss of six
teen was distributing flowers and speaking
gentle words of encouragement to those around
her, when she overheard a soldier exclaim
"Oh. my Lord!'
Stepping to his bedside to rebuke him for his
profanity, she remarked:
Didn't hear you call upon the name of the
Lordl am one of His daughters. Is there any
thing can ask Him for youl"
Looking up into her bright sweet face he re-

READING FOR THE SABBATH.


Sunday-School Lesson for Jan. 1, 1855
HERoD AND JOHN THE BAPTIsT-Matt. xiv, liz.
Golden Text-And his disciples came and took up
the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Matt xiv, IL.
DAILY READINGS.
Monday-Luke l. 5 23-Johus birth foretold.
Tuesday-Luke j. 57-SO-The prophecy fulfilled.
Wednesday-Luke iii. 1.1s-Johns preaching.
Friday-Matt xi, 1-15-Jesus honors John:
Saturday.Matt xiv. 1-12-Herod and john
Sunday-Matt. iii. 1-12-John's preaching.
We have to-day the story of one of the basest
murders of history. Herod Antipas was the
tetrarch or ruler of fourth of the dominion
left by his father, Herod the Great. John the
Baptist had been thrown into prison by Herod
Antipas on account of his bold charge against
the rulers illegal marriage of Herodias. The
daughter of this woman one day danced before
him in such a way that he. iniamed with
wine. made her the rash promise tolgive her any
thing she might ask. Instigated by her mother,
she asks for the head of John the Baptist. The
king reluctantly keeps his promise. and John
was slain. The head was brought to this young
girl, and she carries it to her mother. Now
when Herod hears of the fame of Jesus he fears
that in some way John had come back to life,
and that Jesus was the risen John.
THE APPLICATION.
I. Johns glorious death. 1t was very sad but
we see chiefly the triumph of great brave soul,
dying because of his faithfulness to a high sense
OF DUTY; his Network was done, and without a
stain he dies martyrs death. His name and
example have been among the mightiest IN all
history
H. Herod's sad failure. He had all the oppor-
tunities of a great success, but slave to
lust and appetite. He the base tool of bad
woman, and his sense OF duty to his drunken
oath has covered his name with infamy. He
serves the great purpose of showing how wicked
a man may be that keeps his own promise at the
expense of Gods word. And he illustrates that
deep and terrible truth that carries in it the
possibilities of hell, that as Gods cause and
truth prevail there wakens in the soul of the
sinner sense of guilt that sweeps away all his
unbelief and makes him believe in the resur-
rection of the dead and the approach of retribu-
ton.
HEART TRUTH.
J. "Conscience makes towards of us all"
God Is not witness where evil is wrought. Sin
becomes its own accuser Murdered prophets
will haunt guilty kings Wrong doing will
bring its punishment-and we know it is just.
2. Faithful are the wounds of friend but
a sinner often resents the fidelity. He does not
know his best friends Herod thought John an
enemy; Ahab feared and hated Elijah; the
Phariseess hunted Jesus to the DEATH each
spurned the truest friend.
B. Casting all your care upon Him" The
true Comforter says: Come unto me- He
never wearies; is never impatient with
grief; knows all our sorrows is afflicted when
we suffer- find another such friend?'

Don't Wait

THE STRIKE.

When men get mad they are apt to get
unreasonable. That is why there is
usually so much trouble resulting from
a strike. AS soon as misunderstand
ing springs up between employers and
employees both sides are too apt to fly off
at a tangent without making the proper
effort to adjust their differences. And
it looks very much as if there might be
something OF this sort the trouble be-
tween the carpenters and the builders
Of this city. There is an appearance at
least of too much reliance in self
strength on both sides and not enough
Of a disposition to get together and adj
Just matters in a reasonable way If
the carpenters demand for a full days
pay for nine hours work is unjust, the
builders and contractors ought to be
able TO convince them of the injustice.
If, on the other hand, their demand is
reasonable one, the builders and con-
tractors ought to be open to conviction
Oh this point The whole city is anxious
TO have the strike brought 10 an end as
speedily as possible, and building opera
lions to be resumed. Yet no one is de-
sirouS that it should be terminated at
sacrifice of justice to either side. All
the public wants to know is whose side
Of the quarrel is the just one, and then
have it terminated on fair basis. One
Dr. two days at the outside ought to be
sufficient time for reasonable men to
come to an understanding respecting
this matter.

OUR GUESTS.

Boston, in many respects the most
interesting city on the continent, has
also gained well deserved reputation
for being officially the most hospitable
one. Scarcely distinguished stranger
has ever visited the historic place with
out becoming the city'S guest, and the
municipal hospitality has always been
lavish enough to make the occasion
memorable.
Thursday morning, at O'Clock, there
will arrive in the city representa-
tive Boston business men, members
of the Commercial club, the most
famous organization of its kind in
the country. They will be the guests of
the business men of st. Paul and Mime
apolis, and in measure of the two
cities. These gentlemen should re-
ceiVe such attention as will enable them
to realize that there is at least one place
in the country where even BostOnian
hospitality can be equaled. Every mo-
ment of their brief stay should be made
interesting and profitable. That such
will be the case the name of
the men composing the committee of
entertainment form sufficient guaran-
tee. Boston capital-and the Hub has
lots of it's seeking investment in the
Northwest. The gentlemen who repre-
sent a great portion of that capital
should be made so well acquainted with
the resources and possibilities of the
great Northwest that they will have no
doubt whatever about the ACCESSIBILITY
of directing it in such a channel.
But laying aside all considerations of
self-intereSt, the BGstOnian and Chicago

bilities of this region, should be afforded

MIR. CoRCoRAN's ILLNESS.

1t will be with a sincerity of regret
that in the hurly-burly of life the gem
eral public rarely feels that it will
learn of the serious and probably fatal
illness of the venerable millionaire and
philanthropist, w. w. CoRCoRAN.
Few men entrusted with such goodly
share of this worlds goods have been
able to give so good an account of their
stewardship. Much has he done for the
benefit of his fellow men that the world
knows of. Still more has he done quietly
and without publicity, for CoRCoRAN
has been as modest as benevolent.
Hardly poor person lives at the capt.
tai, his residence, but has cause to bless
his name. Never has deserving charity
appealed to him in vain. His public
benefactions have been numerous, and
should no other monument be erected to
his memory, the magnificent art gallery
presented to the people of Washington
would be all-sufficient. But such fame
as the aged philanthropiSt will leave
behind him needs no perpetuatiOn in
bronze or marble.
His memory will be enShrined in the
gratified hearts of thousands, and no
man could wish for more enduring
monument than that.

Has 1T the Power2

To the Editor of the Globe.
1t is understood that the Office of ius-
tice OF the peace, located in st. Paul,
Will expire this month, and no proyis-
ION has been made to call an election TO
I'LL Inc offices for another term. In
order to tide over the difficulty the CITY
attorney obtained the passage of a biji
by the Legislature last winter giving the
city council the authority to re-elect
candidates for the interregnum
until the next general election.
This cannot be done. The courts of
the justices OF the peace are a mart of
the state Judiciary created bv the con-
stituti0n. (See section l, article 6. state
constltutlon.) Further, the Office of
justice OF the peace is not a municipal.
but state office, and the legislature. bV
command OF the constitution of the
state, shall provide for the election of
whatever numbers desired or sufficient
IN each county, whose term of Office
shall be two years. (See sec
ton 6, state constitution
NOW, then, under the fundamen-
tai law what powers did the legislature
nave to confer upon the city council the
right to elect county officer to fill an
lnterregnum? Clearly none. There is
but one way to do, as the matter now
stands, If the city clerk neglects to
call an election for the two Justices of
the peace whose terms are about expir-
ing. The people have power to do so.
Ii they do not avail themselves of this
right, then we must do without justices
OF the peace until said time as another
election takes place. LEX.
